Watch Mike Wolfe of 'American Pickers' gasp over Lafayette woman’s antiques

By ADAM DAIGLE | Acadiana Business Editor​ ​ ​

Good Monday morning, Acadiana. Thanks for reading us this morning to start out your week.

Interesting story from the weekend that's worth sharing: Mary Stander of Lafayette has collected antiques for decades, and on Saturday national TV viewers got a peek at some of her treasures on an episode of “American Pickers.”

Stander, 70, welcomed the crew of the reality TV show into her West Saint Mary Boulevard home in February for a marathon day of filming. Her extensive collection, primarily focused on American-made and Americana pieces from pre-1900, includes everything from antique guns to American art to hand-painted furniture.

You can read the story here.  

Have a great day and see you back here Tuesday morning.
